Does the weather temperature icon auto update itself periodically without actually opening the app? Mine doesn't and shows only the last manual update when app was last opened.

I don't see any service that I can turn on for this auto update feature. How's it like for you guys....?

I believe it's hourly update

Use the weather widget if you want to see the temperature updated periodically.

Both the widget and weather icon temperature is updated together, or not at all.

Possibly so, the v13.0 ROM change log actually specified fixes to weather app issues. It however might have brought the issue to me instead after upgrading.

I think it is you, the speaker is quite loud near max volume already.

Sometimes it is the music file level not normalised.
There are certain songs that are louder than others when played.

The Redmi Screen protector is the worst I've seen. It is more appropriately described as a "scratch pad" or "Scratch magnet". Had this for less than 10 days and its scratched to the level where it causes light refraction (seeing rainbow colours).

And before you think I am an abuser, the preceding phone was an iPhone4 from 2009 with 4+ years mileage with the same $5 screen protector from day 1 and it looks flawless in comparison to Redmi's supplied "scratch pad".

They supplied 3 protectors in a pack. As with screen protectors, they typically have 2 peel tabs/layers to protect the actual screen protector. In one of them, the 2nd removal tab was actually directly fixed onto the actual screen protector without the protective removal film. Speaks volumes about the production standards of these "scratch pads" once again.

So if yours is all scratched up, you're not alone.

Hahaha

I absolutely agree with you. Its a scratch magnet all right. Its the worst i've ever experience. in fact, 1 of them had a folded corner.

After 1 day only, i took it out. Using it naked as it is.Figured for this low-costs phone, i'll do without casing or screen protectors. Enjoy it.

Just gotten a nice red glossy batt casing from Taobao. 2 pieces. To replace when each one gets scratched up.
